When it comes to value for money, modern players have never been so spoiled, with more roasted maple necks, stainless steel frets, and third-party hardware than we can shake a derivative headstock at. Frankly, it's a brilliant time to go guitar shopping.
The Soloking MS-1 Custom comes via YouTube kings Andertons, who have an exclusive distribution deal for the China-based budget brand in the UK and Europe. Aiming to go headstock to headstock with the big players of the guitar world, this hot-rod double-cut is packing some serious specs to tempt players from more established names.
